User identification used by whole R/3 towards th
Parameter Description
Most operating systems have a concept of different users. But when an R/3 system is started, the whole system is handled like a single program and is associated with the user (on operating system level), who started R/3.
This profile parameter specifies which user should be used to start R/3. If you use a different user, this affects most of R/3’s operations.
But there are some exceptions:
An SAP program running under an identification other than the one in this parameter will never create a SCSA on its own. If there is no SCSA and the profile value of scsa/autocreate is on, it calls the program scsa/create_daemon/exe_file to do this. In a dedicated installation, the program ‘sapmscsa’ (which is stored in scsa/create_daemon/exe_file should have set-UserId priviliges and makes sure the SCSA is owned by the correct user.
